Re: [WORKAROUND] Maps from DLC appearing twice on Overview page

I found a trigger for this duplicate world issue which I managed to repro multiple times - launching the game whilst downloading/installing a Pack in the background. For me it was in Origin but I should imagine the same could be applied to EA App too and possibly console. 

To fix it I quit the game without saving, trashed the pack with the duplicate world (EP14 in my case), repaired the game then re-downloaded the pack. Repairing may not have been necessary but I did it as a precautionary measure.

I'm on a Mac, pack folders in macOS can be found in the Sims 4 Packs folder which is in the same location the base game is installed to.

    I'm on a PC. I have all the packs. I just got Horse Ranch yesterday. DLed & installed. Got a duplicate Horse Ranch world.

    Dumped Zerbu's All Worlds are Residential mod, then dumped other mods, then dumped all mods, deleted Horse Ranch folder & reinstalled, repaired game in between these several times, no effect. Duplicate was still there.

    Completely uninstalled the game and reinstalled with all expansions. This got rid of the duplicate world. Added mods back in one folder at a time. This went well until I added my build/buy CC back in. Duplicate world reappeared.

    I took the build/buy folder back out to do a 50/50 and the duplicate world was still there. Took all mods out and the duplicate was still there.

    I can't do a 50/50 if the game won't reset when I take the mods out. So I guess I'm stuck with 2 worlds now unless/until there's a fix. 

    Thanks for reading.

    This is the 2nd time I've had this issue and to say I'm not very happy about it. I fixed it the first time by saving all my characters and built homes to my Library and then trashing the save and then putting everything back in a new save (this looses friendship progress!)

    Today out of the blue I now have 2 San Myshuno, each with a different character (both where in separate buildings).

    Repair, didn't help, nor did it the first time, hence why I trashed my save first time around and I really don't want to go through all that hassle again.
